Kochanski slowly opened her eyes. She didn't know where she was. Nothing in the room she was in looked familiar to her. She realized she was wearing a White dressing gown from Red Dwarf's Medi Bay. She wasn't sure what Red Dwarf she was in. The next thing she saw was a vase of roses on the nightstand, and 2 notes. She Picked up one of the notes. She automatically recognized her Dave's Neat, proper handwriting.
"Kristine,
I had almost lost all hope of ever finding you again. So naturally, I searched for other women with Ace, and sure enough I have found one. I would have told you in person, but I never got a chance. I'm sorry.
Dave"
She opened the next one, the sloppy handwriting told her it was from the other Dave.
"Chris,
I am sorry about You're Dave. He said you would have wanted it this way. I am not sure if you remember, but I saved you're life again when you fell through the floor boards of that abandoned star ship. I promise to work harder to make you feel welcome this time.
Dave"
Kochanski wasn't sure if this was really true, it was so hard to believe. Her Dave had found another woman? A woman better then her? He had told her he loved her more than anyone or anything and within a year and a half he had found someone better? What a fake! Sure she hadn't been there with him, but she was trying to reach him! That's probably more than he could say.
Lister, Kryten, and Rimmer had come up to visit her a few times earlier, but she was still asleep. They all were escorted to the Medi Bay once more time after hearing she woke up. They stepped into the room, and saw her staring at the notes. Lister wondered if she had read them both yet.
"Hi, how are you feeling?" Lister asked her.
Kochanski smiled at him. "Fine"
Rimmer wondered if anything he had said to her had any affect. He figured it didn't. Lister had told him everything he knew the night before. Neither of them could sleep, they were up talking about what happened all night. Lister really loved her.
That was pretty much all they got to say to each other until they were escorted back to their cells. Lister wanted to talk to Dave some more. He had hid The phone under the floor boards in a small trap compartment. Lister took the phone out and speed dialed Ace. Lister waited for a moment.
"Talk to me, baby!" It was Ace.
"Hey, its me. Lister."
"Can't get enough of me, can you, Listy"
"Hey Man. I never really had a chance to talk to Dave"
"I'm sorry, Listy. He isn't with me anymore. He requested to be dropped off in the backwards universe."
That took Lister by surprise. "Why that one? its so weird and confusing!"
"Yeah, I know. He didn't tell me why. He just said he needed to. I think its to see her again."
"I thought he found someone else"
"Yeah, he did, but he didn't like her nearly as much as Kochanski."
Lister was confused "So, that note he wrote her wasn't real?"
Ace Sighed. "He thought she would be happy with you, and he didn't want her to have feeling for him anymore. That just wouldn't work."
Lister didn't quite know what to say after that. He didn't totally feel right about having Kochanski with him anymore. It was all so strange to him! "Well, if you ever see him again, thank him for me." Lister hung up. He knew it was a little rude, but nobody was perfect. Lister could easily see what Kochanski liked in Dave, he was perfect! Lister wondered what made him think she would be happier with himself. He figured he would think about it in the morning. He gently shut his eyes and fell asleep.
